Why I am called to facilitate the Work
Coming from a background in organizational leadership experience and education. I have spent a large part of the past decade organizing and participating in environmental holding actions, from holding Oil-Rings in the Arctic to actions all over Europe. I have been called to work more closely with the fabric of genuine and loving regenerative movements and organizations. Starting movements and building and supporting existing. My work includes work with Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion, Ende Gelände, amongst many more.
My mission has always been to connect and widen our sense of creativity and timing through co creation, and listening deeply to each other and the more than human world feeling into what wants to be born. My other work includes meditation and qi gong in nature, and I spend much of my time communing with the more than human world in Norway.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
Imagination and really being in touch with the moment we are sharing, to letting new pathways into the future flourish, relates closely to how the great turning will play out.
With a system's approach to playfulness and deepening our individual, and collective feedback system makes the space needed for emergence in unforeseen ways that mend the patches of our world together once again. The balanced simplicity, playfulness and seriousness of the Work That Reconnects holds brilliance in so many ways that can be adapted and worked with in a variety of settings and different groups. A deeply needed and relevant body of work in these times.
